A quick and elegant salad featuring smoky grilled peaches, creamy burrata, salty prosciutto, and a tangy balsamic dressing. Perfect for entertaining or a flavorful weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until char marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  4. Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Peaches should be tender but hold their shape.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and optional lemon juice to make the dressing. Adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
  6. Arrange grilled peach halves cut side up on a serving platter. Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the peaches.
  7. Drape prosciutto slices around the plate and sprinkle torn basil leaves on top.
  8. Drizzle the balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushiness. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Assemble salad just before serving to keep burrata creamy. Dressing can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated. For dairy-free or vegetarian options, substitute burrata and prosciutto accordingly.
